Greg, Brenda, David and family.
Sincere condolences to each of you.
The Gosse family has been acquainted with the Lakins’ for many years. From our grandfathers to now. There’s many great stories that have been shared and repeated throughout the years. I will never look at a rhododendron without thinking of your Mom. She was a strong, proud, hardworking woman who loved her family with her entire being. We’re so very sorry for your great loss. Thinking of you all at this sad time.
Dear Brends, Greg and David
It is so sad to think that Dora is no longer with us.
As you know, during the depression, Dora and I were raised in the same church institution. She was like a sibling to me. She was very intelligent, energetic, had a keen sense of humor, and I don’t recall ever seeing her angry with anyone. She grew into a courageous woman and faced life head-on with amazing success.
I am confident that she has earned her reward. Put in a good word for me, Dora.
Love, Ina
